My type of ominous basement cocktail bar. It was tucked away off the sidewalk down some stairs, illuminated by the red Foundation light.Dimly lit stone/brick walls with some awesome local artwork throughout. Hefty selection of bottles.

A wonderful little bar, serving great drinks with very knowledgeable staff. We walked past a couple of times and missed the entrance, but we’re glad we persisted. Our cocktails were delicious but the real MVP was the pineapple soda… incredible!

Wow! Legit Old Fashioned! Whiskey Sour (w/egg white) Amazing! Best I've ever had! You must do this. Oh, and get a house made Cola. Busy Thu night and the Bartender was on it!
